I will be adding working around policy to apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu, but we want to remove this.

Longer term we'd like to have shared memory file mediation in AppArmor. Original report: I recently wrote a small application[1] to spot an ancient issue I had using QAudioRecorder on Ubuntu devices. After I have installer gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio (otherwise "pulseaudio:" is not listed as available source), I tried to start a record through QAudioRecorder but it failed, giving me this output: "shm_open() failed: Permission denied" I've checked for some denials from apparmor (using 'dmesg | grep DEN'), but none was found. If I change the apparmor profile[2], so that my test application is launched in a unconfined environment, QAudioRecorder works properly as expected. I run this test on my Nexus 5 (utopic-devel-proposed #185), but this problem with shm happens also on i386 ubuntu-emulator (utopic-devel #206).
